Hungarian National Ballet strike a delightful balance between lighthearted comedy and technical assurance in Ronald Hynd's The Merry Widow.

Hungarian National Ballet's Spartacus is not short of drama. Combined with Khachaturian's rousing score and some breathtaking dancing, it's a winner.

This expanded Swan Lake celebrated the return of an exceptional ballerina after a year's lay-off as well as displaying the depth of talent within the company.
